There is little, if anything I would change here and you&#39;ve managed to neatly address all that I found &quot;wrong&quot; with the official versions of the class. Nicely done Stuart.David Macauleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02169529907795110403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6140043014268268541.post-17534049691696835102012-03-26T12:28:07.789-04:002012-03-26T12:28:07.789-04:00This is a neat spin.

I, too, like the idea of the paladin better than its implementation; I always felt that the AD&amp;D version, at least, was overpowered.<br /><br />I never like that prohibition against associating with non-lawful characters. You miss out on some wonderful roleplaying opportunities for the paladin to serve as the moral compass in a group of ne&#39;er-do-wells. A monk in my current campaign serves a similar role, providing sober second thought to the group and preventing what would otherwise become a downward spiral to Chaos.Sean Robsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16429301144221551751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6140043014268268541.post-1389111970073828382012-03-26T11:13:01.882-04:002012-03-26T11:13:01.882-04:00I think the Anti-Paladin is a great character!

By using the reversed spells they&#39;re not just Paladins with different fluff text - they&#39;re doing different things.<br /><br />They terrify and unnerve their enemies instead of bolstering their allies. Instead of being able to &quot;Lay on Hands&quot; and heal someone of their wounds they&#39;re so evil and toxic they get <i>Force Lightning</i> or some other kind of &quot;Hand of Death&quot; effect. They feel similar, but different, and all it takes is reversing 3 of the spells.Stuarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13457050225967190052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6140043014268268541.post-13859281724931495332012-03-26T11:02:54.486-04:002012-03-26T11:02:54.486-04:00nice, simple, flavourful.

I&#39;ve toyed with the idea of a paladin that gets no mechanical advantage for himself at all but powers up those around him by his inspiring example.<br />Anti-paladins bug me - especially the whole cause rather than cure wounds thing: evil people ain&#39;t got time to bleed?richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13517340075234811323noreply@blogger.com
